[BUG] Pictureviewer's PicInformation, Exif User Comment does not show. - realjobe - 2011-12-25
Hi there. Using Eden Beta 1 Win32.
When User selects one jpg that has "User Comment" field inside EXif structure, "Picture Information" window shows only One char of the "Comment" field, when there are a lot of text.
Comment, just for info...

EDIT.
I also found
Code:
14:32:49 T:1576 DEBUG: SECTION:LoadDLL(special://xbmcbin/system/libexif.dll)
14:32:49 T:2588 DEBUG: msg: ExifParse: incorrect Exif headerPics are plain regular pictures with Exif 2.x

This happens when the "User Comment" is stored as unicode (UTF-8). In ExifParse.cpp, the 8 byte header ("UNICODE\0") is removed, but the remaining string terminates after the first null character (most unicode characters consist of one null byte).

Thank you Very much for this!
User Comments are created with AcDsee 4.0 application, so their ought to be "legit".
Can someone do something about this issue?
Also how problematic is to expose User Comments to skin, like those 2 other Exif specs..
Code:
$INFO[ListItem.PictureDateTimeand
Code:
$INFO[ListItem.PictureResolution(confluence/720p/ViewsPictures.xml)

Eden Beta3 still does not show EXIF UserComment but one the 1st char..

Take a look at this: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/d9ce56ebd1927da5d7bc441078164175b38d1afe
There are more fields exposed to the skin only your skin/view (confluence?) doesn't use them.
so you can probably do something like this in viewspictures.xml:
Code:
$INFO[ListItem.LISTITEM_PICTURE_COMMENTFor a better example: https://github.com/fetzerch/xbmc/commit/89a4c760263a89aa170879b978fd2b5e67a9e114

Well. now that this bug has been taken care of, will there be possibility to Show EXIF:user Comment field on the bottom of the showing picture in any view mode?
Has the field been exposed to skin level to use?

EXCELENT!!! I have been waiting for this over 1,5 years now! FINALLY!
I write all my picture realted info inside EXIF user comment field as it is intended to be used.
GeoLocation is also included in the EXIF..
any possibility to use GoogleMaps to pinpoint the location?

btw, see the commit for all available fields. https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/827
yes, geo coordinates are also stored and avaiable to skinners. The picture addon xcyl is providing the option to show a google map.
